LA Kings Twitter Account Trolls Canucks Fans After Game 1 Win

The Los Angeles Kings struck first in their playoff series against the Vancouver Canucks, winning Game 1 4-2. They may have also struck the first blow in what is sure to be a heated battle between fans of the hockey franchises.

The Kings' tweet, of course, toyed with the idea that the Canucks, one of two Canadian teams in the NHL playoffs this year, is largely reviled outside of B.C. And maybe one of the league's most despised teams.

"They have those guys who do things that tick you off on the ice to get under your skin, and some of them are good at it. If they're losing, you can blow them off. But because they're good, it definitely makes it more annoying," said Kings defenceman Drew Doughty.
